All eyes were focused in the same direction, and everyone who participated in the expedition, including nobles, farmers, and slaves, wore the word "∧" on their chests and arms. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Children between the ages of twelve and eighteen, and even all young women, have chosen to bring their own weapons and join the expedition of the Empire, a team of 2oo people, who will set off early tomorrow morning.

The rest of the old people, women and children, all looked at their relatives with a kind of sadness or relief, hoping that they could finally come back alive.

The oracle of the god of the sky has spread to every part of the empire.

In fact, countless people, as well as some unknown races, are actively engaged in this epic battle.

…………

Night. There was a sultry humidity in the air, like a fog.

In the distance, the lights in the manor looked faint here, making the night even quieter.

The hot springs, which are only ten meters in radius, are not visited at night.

Zoro took a deep breath, a faint scent of grass caressing the tip of his nose. Raising his head, the little stars twinkled and blinked mischievously, as if to say hello to himself.

They adorn the deep blue night sky like pearls, no less than the bright moon.

Master the power of nothingness. Let Zoro's memories become clearer and clearer, about another world. A place called Earth......

There was the rustling of footsteps in my ears. Without looking back, Sauron could tell that the footsteps belonged to a woman, and a familiar woman.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, under the illumination of the moonlight, a figure slowly untied the leather belt and removed the dagger and cross sword. Hand crossbow.

…… Stripped of the dirty clothes, the ice is clear and jade-clean, so slim.

The narrow eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and in an instant, they returned from black to bright silver. Zoro saw her vaguely, as if she had been washed from cow's milk, so ice clear and jade, so slim.

Evie looked very different than usual. The moonlight shone on her body. The big wavy golden yellow of the head is rolled out with dazzling light, and the slender and white calves are slender and attractive.

She plunged her white calves into the warm water full of petals, the warm spring water, which made Evie "sy" and sit down gently.

Her eyes looked at Zoro, and her little face quickly turned rosy.

Quickly look down at your own reflection in the water. I saw a pretty face and big eyes with long eyelashes.

Like a believer's sacrifice to the god he believes in, there is no reason to refuse, Sauron slowly stood up, gently moving the ripples. Walk forward.

As time went on, it was completely dark. The moon slowly grows larger, although it is very white and beautiful.

But the wheezing sound, and the two overlapping shadows, made the moon seem a little shy, and gradually faded away a little.

……………………

It wasn't sunrise yet, and the sky was just a little overcast.

It was a wonderful moment. In the deep and pale sky, there were still a few stars scattered, the ground was pitch black, the sky was completely white, the weeds were trembling slightly, and everywhere was shrouded in mysterious light.

As far as the eye can see, a series of ridges can be seen reflecting the bronze horizon, revealing its dark shadow.

A dazzling star was hanging on the top of this hill, like a soul flying out of this dark mountain field.

The dawn gradually showed the colors of purple, blue, and green. The rising sun reveals its first rays. I've never seen this bright red so red, and I've never seen this bright red so fresh. In an instant, the fireball soared into the air; The gaze is covered by colorful clouds. Light and shadow are ever-changing; Hundreds of pillars of light shot down from space.

The white palm covered it, and it sprinkled light spots between the fingers and imprinted on Evie's face.

Walking out of the manor, Breiten, Faye, Basilt, and Tammy looked at Evie, a heroic female swordsman with a crossbow in hand, and each pair of eyes was stunned.

A golden head with a ponytail tied up, in the entire Eastern Kingdom, this indicates that the girl is engaged, or is ...... The heart belongs.

"That sub-god warrior, where is he?" Hearing Basilt's question, Bryten, Faye and the rest of the others did not see Sauron now.

Evie's eyes still extended in the direction of the south, and she replied faintly, "He's gone." ”

Retracting that unattainable perspective, Evie turned her head and stared at the team of 2oo people who were gathering in the clearing, as if she had decided something. Striding towards the clearing, "I will join the expedition of the Sky Empire, and I am willing to follow me." If you don't want to come, then it's time to say goodbye......"

How high and far a wyvern has a view.

Flying against the wind at low altitude, my ears buzzed all of a sudden.

But as Sauron continued to increase the altitude of his flight, gradually, he flew higher and higher, and flew more and more steadily.

The white clouds in the air are rolling, in a thousand forms, some like cotton quietly, and some like a group of dancing girls.

Half a night and a day, when he was about to reach his destination, the mercenary city, when Zoro looked down from the sky, he faintly saw the mountain river.

There is a mountain peak next to the city that is very special, in the line of sight, the mountain is as abrupt as a knife, the river next to it is as thin as a rope, and the fields are like small building blocks, looking down from the sky, everything seems so small.

It was only as Sauron broke through the invisibility barrier and descended from high in the sky that a magnificent city entrenched in front of him.

The city of mercenaries -- the consul here is Pesci, the king of mercenaries. A Berserker woman who once knelt on the ground and swore allegiance to herself.

The civilization of the berserkers worships the Minotaurs, at least from the superficial appearance of the city. Huge statue of a minotaur. It's like two Titans, guarding both sides of the city gate.

As a matter of fact. Since the Berserker Legion migrated to Eagle's Nest City ten years ago, there are not many Berserker clansmen in the Imperial Continent.

The city is filled with humans, most of whom come from all over the world, and take root here.

"Subjects of the Empire, ugly and wicked races have taken over the world for ten years, ravaging the rich lands and destroying the statues of the glorious gods of the sky that we erected ten years ago. Kidnapping the subjects of the pious god of the sky, defiling the chaste maiden, greedily drinking the blood of children. The God of the Sky personally exhorts all those who have the rank of knighthood to quickly come to the aid of the Northern Kingdom, exterminate the vicious Howling Legion, and march towards the whole world......"

on the streets. A man who looks like a servant of the gods is calling on the inhabitants of the Mercenary City to join the Empire's expedition.

Although the streets were full of mercenaries with weapons on their backs, no one bothered to pay attention to the poor old fellow. Occasionally, one or two people stop by the street, and they will only taunt with disdain, "Get home and get the old dog." This is a city of mercenaries, and the god of the sky wants Lao Tzu to die for him. But he didn't pay Lao Tzu a copper plate. ”

"The god of the sky can't control this yet, the city ruled by the king of mercenaries, even the imperial empress and the senate, have no ability to meddle in everything in the city of mercenaries."

"No one wants to go back to the whole realm and fight those evil madmen."

As Zoro had observed and understood, the City of Mercenaries was filled with all kinds of nobles from all over the continent. and their vassals knights, castle soldiers. They exchanged their wealth for a ticket to the Sky Empire, packaging themselves as mercenaries and not being governed by the Empire's rule.

"Arrest this old fellow from elsewhere and send him to the water prison!"

Several figures wearing mercenary insignia captured the servants of the gods who preached the oracle.

As they had heard, they openly defied the gods of the sky and the emperor.

These faces are all from all over the territory. They are protected by the Sky Empire, far from the slaughter of the Howling Legion, yet standing on the land of the Sky Empire, they despise everything in the Empire. In Sauron's view, the entire blame for this situation lies with the city and its consuls.

"Invincible and omnipotent in the eyes of the subjects of the Empire, can the glorious god of the sky single-handedly punish a megacity of millions of people?"

The answer to this question is no.

Even Zoro himself was amused.

Although 20,000 Templars can be summoned to battle at any time. But he didn't need anyone to remind him, and Sauron knew in his heart that he was not a god in the true sense of the word.

And if the power of the demigods could destroy a megacity with a population of millions, then he would not have to start a full-scale war at all. All you need to do is directly destroy the base camp of the Howling Legion, Emperor Lincheng, and directly capture the three temples of the Imperial Enemy, Haoran, and Azure Empire.

"The Mercenary King's rule over the entire city depends on the support and maintenance of the Mercenary Guild. Since there is no patience to wait for the arrival of the Broken Horn Minotaur Warband and the Night Legion, and there is no need to consume the elite forces in the infighting, let's start with the mercenaries to solve the problem. ”

Removing the invisibility barrier, Sauron, with a black head and black pupils, walked down the street towards the center of the city.

The city of mercenaries has neither a royal palace nor a consul's residence.

It was a magnificent building that looked half the size of the Imperial Palace.

The center point where several main streets meet, the Mercenary Hall looks like a temple in appearance, and it is the most prominent and conspicuous building in the city, and it is also the center of the city's rule and the center of faith for millions of residents.

Standing to the west of the building, Sauron's gaze climbed upwards to the top floor.

Mercenary hall, the highest floor. From here, you can look down on the whole city.

In the magnificent, intricately carved windows, the ceiling overhead is painted with a variety of unsightly patterns, all of which are all yellow.

In the halls of power of the city, all kinds of profligate laughter and carnival sounds resounded.

Today is the birthday of the Mercenary King, and she is entertaining her supporters and the leaders of the Grand Mercenary Regiment.

The dimly lit hall is full of all kinds of beauties wearing only a layer of light veil, and some hidden places loom in the background. The candles burning on the sconces, played with by the faint wind, cater to the drinking party, and the rough palms spread on the smooth skin. Merge with the erosive aura that emanates from all around.

Standing on the edge of the windowsill, Pesci, the king of mercenaries, with his back to the main hall.

She was looking through the window at her 'kingdom'.

Single eyelids, the eyelashes are not long, but they are densely black, so that the eyes are surrounded by clouds, hazy, and look enchanting, mysterious and seductive.

The pleated skirt was covered with a tunic carved with the mercenary's emblem. The tunic is a large open-chested shawl with a seam on the side and an arm that can be stretched out to move.

Her black eyes, though embedded in a reserved face, were restless, intelligent and full of scheming that was difficult to guess. It doesn't match her decorated face.

"God of the sky...... Have you returned? It's a pity that ten years is enough time to change many things. A city of mercenaries with millions of warriors and impregnable walls. There are also the Seven Kings Mercenary Groups. Today's Pesci is a veritable queen! ”

When Percy's eyes appeared on a small black dot on the ground, and now this 'little black dot' was looking up, looking at the highest point of the mercenary hall.

Beneath the golden headband, Percy's bright, clear eyes became cold and shining, as sharp as steel.

"A guild branch from Nature's City?"

"A-class mercenary group?"

Looking at Zoro, the young man in the hall on the first floor of the mercenary hall, about twenty-seven or eight years old, with short hair, a white neckline slightly open, cuffs rolled up to the middle of his arms, revealing wheat-colored skin, deep eyes, a high nose, and thick lips.

After asking Zoro about his intentions, the other party's face showed some surprise. After all, anyone who registers for an A-class mercenary group often symbolizes that the other party is not an ordinary person.

Open a certificate with the words Thorn Warband written in scribbled notes, and the mark of the Mercenary Guild of Nature's City.

"Eastern Kingdom, River City, Earl Jerome." The other party read the words on the certificate, and Zoro nodded.

The emblem of the Thorn Mercenary Regiment has only one Thorn Flower on it.

The flag is correspondingly simple, a blooming thorn flower.

"According to the rules of the Mercenary City, an A-level mercenary group needs to lead all the mercenary members to the arena to report. and accept the canonization of the King of Mercenaries. ”

Witness the strength of a mercenary group and canonize a noble title.

I have to say that Pesci's method of ruling the mercenary city is simple and practical.

After all, for a nobleman who fled to the Sky Empire, the most tangible benefit is to continue to enjoy the privileges and honors of the nobles.

Moreover, the laws of the Sky Empire, treating their own nobles, all kinds of rewards are much more generous than the whole territory. In addition to monthly food rations, gold coins, a nobleman of level 5 and above, and even the right to the first night of any freeman girl in the city.

Later, under the witness of hundreds of mercenary guards, Zoro left the mercenary hall.

There are no sculptures of the gods of the sky on the streets of the City of Mercenaries, and there are not even many symbolic markings of the Sky Empire. There is only a statue of Pesci, the king of mercenaries, once Berserker Queen. (To be continued.) )
